  1. Tim, Thanks for the response! Doesn’t take long for a tank to crash when you are gone most of the time. Now I’m home again, I plan on going back to water changes every 10 days (10%). I cleared the rubble out of the sump and started with a clean slate. Still have all sand and about 200 lb rock in the 225 g. The tank itself was set up in 2008 (14 years now). New filter socks with larger porous media intercepting, first. These are now cleaned out daily. All pumps cleaned throughly. Salinity levels checked at 1.023. Other parameters to be checked and posted tomorrow as I wanted time for this water/ filtration change to settle a bit. You mentioned “hard coral” to be added? Any particular that you would recommend? Also, old lights are gone and Kessil A160WE’s are now installed. Still running original “Ehim 1262 (2/ea)” from sump. Internal circulation is Tunze 6105 Turbelle and a ReefWave 45 Gyre. New GFO and Carbon as of 7 May (yesterday). Pics: old to new.
  2. My reef tank has been devastated by Cyano. I have been traveling and husbandry has been on the back burner. I have been using a lot of live rock in my 55 gallon sump in addition to a couple hundred pounds that are in my 225 gallon. I’m wondering if the detritus is just building up in my refugium? Does anyone else run a ton of live rock in there sump? I’m thinking maybe if I get rid of all of this but it would be just easier to clean without an area for the detritus to build up? Thoughts? Pics?
  3. I have a stunning Picasso Trigger that I would like to move! Looking for Clams here.
  4. You are your own raw material; know what you consist of and what you want to make of it.

  11. Sorry, I gave all of the Xenia to the ARC meeting last week to be given away.
  12. 10 am would be great. I'll give you some to take to the meeting. Address: 303 River Ridge Dr. Gtown 78628
  13. I have a lot of Xenia Left. Come and get it on Saturday.
  14. Not really up late. Try me on the weekend.
  15. I'm at home all day today doing paperwork. 303 River Ridge Dr. Gtown, 78628
  16. Great Idea! Wish I could but I work till 11 pm. Anyone in Gtown want to take some to the meeting?
  17. I have a ton of Pulsing Xenia (kind of pink in color). FREE to anyone that wants some. Dave
  18. I wouldn't mind bringing it to you depending on where you live? I own a restaurant so I'm not at home very often.
  19. No, it's not. Your clown went right to the other and they bonded immediately. I had another one brought by yesterday which was a bit smaller and the other two won't let Rudolph play in any Reindeer games!
  20. I need to trade my smallest (1") Ocellaris Clown that I just received last night in trade for a barrel that I had. Unfortunately, the other two clowns in the tank have now conspired to keep the new kid off the block. I hate to see him die and would gladly trade for any other reef safe fish like a Fire Fish or Anthias or Blue Tang or Yellow Jawfish... Dave

    WTB Sump

    I had all of my glass panel dividers and lids for the sump done at Russell Glass in Georgetown. Dirt Cheap and great work!

    WTB Sump

    I do have a 55 gallon tank that I'm selling for $50. You could easily silicon a glass panel in to make a fuge and sump in one.

    WTB Sump

    I have a "Pro Clear Aquatics Sump that I no longer use and will sell it for $50. You'll need a pump and overflow tube. Obtainable from any LFS.
  25. I would get MaxiJet 1200's. They put out 295gph, are small and work great! Two would do the trick for your tank.
